Our iconic barn may have been wiped out by a tornado, but good times remain a constant at Marmac Farm.

Small towns in Indiana have an abundance of timeworn, peculiarly beautiful garages. Here are two examples, photographed during a fuel stop in Boswell. The first garage appears to have been an auto-repair place, whereas the second one was a tire shop.

Madison > Bloomington

For many years Bloomington has been my favorite Midwestern college town. But after an hour hoofing it in Wisconsin’s capital, I’m ready to hand the crown to Madison. Sailboats, food trucks, and ivy-covered walls — all in the shadow of a majestic capitol dome. I’ll take it.

I took a few photos at the Putnam County Fair Parade, and this one emerged as my favorite, narrowly edging out a shot of ALF in a Shriners hat.

Because you’d have to be a cold-hearted crank not to smile at the sight of a fuzzy pair of donkey ears.

I admit it. I’m drawn to decaying structures. A building in disrepair stirs my emotions. Tells me story. Compels me to ask questions.

Kankakee Sands

I’m quite familiar with the 100-mile stretch of Highway 41 between Chicago and Attica. I’ve traveled the route countless times over the course of my life, using it to escape the sprawl of suburbia and enjoy the solitude of my family’s Indiana farm. But only recently did I discover Kankakee Sands, a 7,800-acre expanse of restored prairie — owned and managed by The Nature Conservancy — bordering Highway 41 in Morocco, IN.

Yesterday, while returning home from a trip to Indianapolis, I made a quick stop at Kankakee Sands to capture a few photos in a field of wildflowers. Unfortunately, a howling wind made it challenging to capture crisp images.

I know. Excuses, excuses. Nonetheless, I’ll be sure to bring my monopod the next time I head down Highway 41.

I captured this eight-minute recording last Saturday at my family’s farm, Marmac, which sits 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis. Listening to the recording, what strikes me is that, though it seemed calm outside, the amount of aural activity taking place was intense.
